Pattrn developers and users hang out on the Pattrn discussion room
on Gitter. Access is open
to anyone: please join the discussion if you have any questions about
using or improving Pattrn or about developing new features.

Anyone can raise an issue. Whether you are a developer or a simple user
of Pattrn, whether it is about a bug of the application or related to
the User Interface, raising an issue is always welcome and can really
help improving Pattrn.

The best way to raise an issue is to do so directly on GitHub. To do so,
please refer to the simple guide
here

Alternatively, feel free to drop an email to support@pattrn.co with a
description of the issue you wish to raise.

The manual you are reading is developed in its own GitLab repository:
you can help us improve the present documentation of Pattrn by
forking the documentation repository
and submitting a merge request.

Fully non-profit, the Pattrn Project depends on funding and financial
support in order to maintain and develop Pattrn.

We welcome donations and funding from organisations interested in using
Pattrn for their work, or from foundations dedicated to support
initiatives in related fields such as open-source, open data, human
rights, information transparency, or citizen journalism.

The Pattrn Project is a unit hosted at Goldsmiths, University of London,
in the Department of Visual Cultures.

As of December 2015, it is co-directed by Eyal Weizman, Director of
Forensic Architecture, and Francesco Sebregondi, Project Architect of
Pattrn.

Decisions regarding the development trajectory and roadmap of the Pattrn
project are taken in consultation with the Pattrn Advisory Board,
composed of developers and expert practitioners in the fields of use of
Pattrn.

As Pattrn grows and starts involving an active community of users and
developers, mechanisms for this community to take an active part in the
decision-making process will be put in place. For comments or
suggestions, please send us an email at support@pattrn.co.
